I was a daigou in the 60s

"Who would be willing to be your girlfriend? Get out of here!"

"Sister, that's awesome! If I had known you were so capable, I wouldn't have been so nervous just now."

Su Wenlan's face turned slightly red, and people around her began to stop and watch.

This made Su Wenlan even more uneasy.

"Stop talking, let's go, this is not a place to stay for long."

Su Wenlan pulled Xiao Dongqing and spoke softly, obviously wanting to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

It turned out that the man was a blind date introduced to Su Wenlan by a relative.

But Su Wenlan felt that the two were not suitable.

Unexpectedly, the other party kept pestering her and even ran to his workplace to wait for her.

This led to many false rumors circulating in the unit.

Today, the other party even wanted to follow her home.

This was unbearable for her and eventually the conflict broke out.

Su Wenlan rarely gets angry, but this time she was really pissed off.

Even if Xiao Dongqing was not around, she planned to warn the other party.

Xiao Dongqing listened to his sister's complaints along the way and felt very dissatisfied with this kind of man.

"If you really like someone, you should pursue them openly."

"In today's world, you're still going to someone else's workplace to assert your sovereignty."

"It's neither manly nor generous enough. He wants to use public pressure to make the girl submit."

"It only shows that this person has impure thoughts and low quality."

"Sister, ignore this kind of person! You scolded me well today, and you were right to do so!"

"If he dares to come to the factory to look for you again, don't waste time talking to him. Just ask the security department to send him to the security station."

"Since he's being unreasonable, there's no need for us to save face for him!"

After Xiao Dongqing finished speaking, the two of them walked into the corridor of the family area carrying large and small bags.

As soon as they reached the stairs, they met several neighbors who greeted them, and Xiao Dongqing stopped complaining.

"Oh, Dongqing is back. I haven't seen you for more than ten days. Your aunt misses you so much!"

"I miss my family too!"

"Dongqing, you have a lot of things in this bag, I'll go to your house later to see what good things you have!"

Xiao Dongqing said with a smile.

"No problem, auntie. You brought some pork when you went back to your parents' home last time."

"My uncle is so generous to my father-in-law. I'll come to your house someday."

"You kid..."

As soon as he returned to the familiar textile factory staff compound, Xiao Dongqing felt relaxed.

Even climbing stairs felt much easier.

As soon as she entered the house, Su Wenlan was busy pouring water for Xiao Dongqing to wash his face.

"Sister, you heard what I just said, didn't you?"

"Next time you encounter this kind of situation, you must be as tough as you were today, so that others won't bully you!"

Xiao Dongqing took a sip of water and reminded his sister.

"I know, I know. Your sister knows what's going on. Don't worry."

"You must be tired from the train ride. Go and rest first. I'll go to the grocery store later to see if they have any spare ribs."

"I'll make you your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs and pork rib stew to nourish your body."

"Sister, no need to buy it, I have it here."

Xiao Dongqing remembered that there were still ribs he bought last time in his small warehouse, so he hurriedly stopped his sister.

"This time I went on a business trip with my boss and visited several counties. I exchanged a lot of local specialties with the villagers."

"There are spare ribs and various dried seafood. Look..."

Having said that, Xiao Dongqing couldn't wait to open his luggage.

Su Wenlan was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

"So many things? How did you exchange them? Did you bring so much money?"

Sweet potatoes, corn, wild chestnuts, black fungus, and farm-made pickled vegetables.

There were also a few bunches of wild vegetables, and even a bottle of fermented rice wine and a bottle of mushroom sauce, filling the table.

Su Wenlan wondered if he had been traveling for the past ten days.

How did he get these things, and why didn’t the leaders say anything?

Xiao Dongqing answered frankly.

"It's just an exchange of goods. The leaders also brought back some local specialties, so it wasn't a wasted trip for everyone.

You need tickets to buy things in the city, but you don’t need them in the countryside, so it didn’t cost much.”

In fact, most of these specialties are purchased from people online.

Only a small part was exchanged with fellow villagers, but my sister didn't know this.

Besides, Director Xie and the others did change some things, and Xiao Dongqing didn't lie.

Xiao Dongqing was relieved when he heard that the leader had also taken action.

He happily began to sort out the good things Xiao Dongqing brought back.

"Chestnuts from the mountains are still the best. Wait until the meat coupons are issued next month."

"I'll make you a dish of roasted pork with chestnuts and some potatoes. It's your favorite."

Xiao Dongqing swallowed his saliva when he heard this.

He nodded repeatedly.

"My sister is still the best to me, although the food we eat on the road is also good."

"But I always miss the dishes you cooked!"

Su Wenlan felt warm in her heart, but she said.

"You're out there eating at a state-owned restaurant with your boss, and you still miss me?"

"So what? No matter how good a chef is, he can't compare to my cooking skills. The food you cook tastes like home!"

Xiao Dongqing's words made Su Wenlan feel very comfortable.

"You still have some conscience, kid. You still have the canned oranges that the factory gave you last time."

"Go eat quickly, don't let Old Seven or Old Eight see you."

After saying that, Su Wenlan tied her apron tightly and hurried out to prepare the ribs, intending to make sweet and sour ribs.

Xiao Dongqing took out the hidden can of oranges and was almost moved to tears.

My sister is so nice to him!

In the blink of an eye, the day of the exam arrived.

Early in the morning, Su Zhilan cooked a bowl of noodles with two eggs for Xiao Dongqing, which meant full marks in the exam.

Xiao Dongqing had dark circles under her eyes, obviously she didn't get enough rest last night. She looked nervous and kept giving instructions.

"Eat quickly. Before going to the examination room, did you bring your admission ticket?"

"Don't forget to bring your pen, and don't be nervous about the exam. We don't necessarily have to get into university."

"If it really doesn't work, go to school and talk to Teacher Zhang. You have to get your diploma no matter what!"

After the college entrance examination is the department store recruitment examination.

You can’t get a job in a department store without a diploma, and that’s a big deal.

Xiao Dongqing took the bowl and started eating noodles. He felt that his wife was even more nervous than himself, and her voice was trembling.

However, he had to tell his wife the truth.

"Zhilan, yesterday I went to school to find Teacher Zhang to get my admission ticket, and he told me in advance."

"I insisted on taking the college entrance exam this time. If my grades weren't good, the school wouldn't issue me a diploma."

Teacher Zhang is a very upright person and will not easily change his principles even if others plead with him.

Especially in Nantong No. 1 Middle School, such a thing is impossible to happen.

When Su Zhilan heard this, her hands trembled and she almost couldn't hold the bowl.

"Is it too late to take the exam now?"

She was full of regret that she shouldn't have let Xiao Dongqing take the college entrance examination directly.

What if you end up with neither a job nor a diploma?

Xiao Dongqing quickly finished his noodles, drank the last mouthful of soup, and burped with satisfaction.

"I'm afraid it's too late."
